Migration - Poem by Cory Ruda

Consider the sparrow...As it soars through the powdered winter sky.Ever vigilant, It flies towards the warm embraceWhich waits to take up the tiny creatureAnd keep it safe 'til itslast whimpering breath.

Spearhead flocks of sparrows shoot overheadtoward their goal, Few, if any, stay.With their dreams of joy, Passion for their goal surges through their swift-pulsing hearts.Adrenaline-driven wings, beating repeatedly, eternally, Push them onward.
